72 914 1.7
What are the current thoughts about 914s? The one that has caught my eye is a 1.7 with a Weber carb set-up. It's a third the cost of any 911 I'd care to own, and around what an NA 944 is selling for.
I have a Miata for autox and track work, and I'm building a Locost. I want a fun project to tinker with, while still driving it through the summer.
I see the FAQs suggest one be wary of 1.7s to ensure that it is the Porsche motor, and not a VW bus motor. It also suggests being wary of carb'd conversions. Rust doesn't seem to be an issue from pics and seller's report.
